Home Fires Novels & Stories

"Hey Levi, you're awake" A few days ago? "The eastern part of the valley experienced a severe fire. A fire originated from a large house complex belonging to Karmen's family and spread to the small forest behind it. Although the fire was extinguished quickly, it had completely destroyed the house, which until now still left a small spark. Karmen's residence area is almost ten hectares with two large villa buildings and a small bungalow that has been standing for hundreds of years." The reporter's voice on the television screen caught the attention of Mimin and Arland who sat with Verss in the hospital, two days after he lay unconscious.

I threw open the door to the inn's room, the wood banging loudly against the already damaged wall of the chamber my parents and I had been given for the night. Smoke filled my lungs, forcing me to cough as Nael Liesand, my father's Right-Hand man, stormed out of his own room. His eyes locked onto mine, flashing with relief at seeing me unharmed, then narrowing with resolve and an all-consuming rage to eradicate any threat to me. I felt the wind pelt my face as he pulled in fresh night air from a window down the hall, attempting to protect us from the smoke of the fire raging below. I ran to him, and his arms wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me in close just as his wife, Ada, erupted from

It may seem a bit crazy but the influence that will come to Celine and her cause, is getting bigger and the opportunity to ruffle the Desmond and Langham families is wide open. Unfortunately, Justin is also struck by one fact; Bryan Desmond. "If you want to play with fire, do it in a more respectable place. You did it on the balcony? Seriously, Celine!"

“I actually feel sorry for her. She’s been brainwashed and doesn’t even know it. That’s just sad.” “Tsk. She acts like she’s above us all. All she does is suck up to the capitalist like a lapdog. Trash!” As if digging up Vivian’s and my past wasn’t enough, the online mob also tracked down her workplace and home, and even brought her parents into it. I sought Vivian, only to be slapped in the face by my future father-in-law. Jeremy Williams yelled furiously, “Is this how you protect my daughter? I’ll kill you if you harass my daughter again, Sam!”

I listened as Baba Tope explained the fire outbreak. “It was 2 a.m. when a fire broke out in the house beside yours. The cause was gas leakage, luckily no one was hurt.” That was the only piece of good news. The houses were built in such a way that many neighbouring houses were connected. So, if something like a fire occurred in one house, there was a high possibility that it could spread to the next one. Some houses weren’t properly fenced off, so a fire couldn’t be easily contained.

As I was about to open my mouth again, I was interrupted by the voices that had grown more terrifying. “Run!” They cried. “RUN!” In a heartbeat, the cold air was replaced by a sudden wave of searing heat, prompting me to spin around and face the horrifying sight before me. The manor, where thousands of Farsuleias had left a mark on the history of our lineage, was now consumed by a raging inferno, its flames eagerly dancing upon the foundations. My breath caught in my chest as I watched the fire's voracious hunger devour everything in its path.

(My favorite). Red is believed to be the color of love. But it has the intensity to burn. Its flames when roar leaves nothing. They only destroy. But so, does love. This time Hades will burn. Everything. Because if it turns out that the girl, he has been searching for is someone he loves. The fire in his eyes will leave no ashes. Should I let myself get caught in the crossfire?

We still had each other, and that was the most important thing. The fire raged fiercely, consuming every corner of the house we once called home. Memories etched in the walls, laughter echoing in the living room, all of it was now just a fading shadow. After the firefighters arrived, I could only stand frozen, watching my home engulfed in flames. We had nothing with us except the clothes on our backs.

I didn't live with many people around me being raised and educated at home, it even gave me a certain chill thinking about several people around me suffocating me. I would have to kill them one by one. From the corner of the kitchen I notice Cosmo watching me and I stare back at him trying to convey all the anger I'm feeling, he let me down a lot this morning, I'm sure he would have had sex with the blonde whore if I hadn't done anything. "How is your home?" I throw out the question in a cold tone of voice. "Did the fire reach many rooms?" "No, just the kitchen" he seems to think for a moment, as if he's weighing his words "Forensics is looking into what happened and it appears to have been

“Don’t be so dramatic, my love. I was just too busy to even make time for myself. But I apologize; I will do better.” “Good. How did all this even happen?” “I can’t get the story right; there was a naked wire somewhere and it touched each other, so it sparked a reaction, and that was how the fire started. The family was not around, so it continued to spread until it triggered the alarm system. Luckily, the fire service was near, and they attended to the fire on time. There are no major damages, though, but I had to renovate the place as it was a residential area.”
